Obtain Course Advice and permission to do the International Study Program (ISP) from the Managing Faculty of your course. Follow the relevant procedure for your course:

Arts only course: If you wish to count an Arts ISP towards a single Arts course, you must obtain written Course Advice from the Faculty of Arts confirming that the ISP will fit your course progression. There are two ways you can do this:

Book a Course Advice appointment with Arts Student Services via your my.monash portal. Print and take this Course advice form to your appointment then submit the completed and signed form with your application.

Request a Course Progression Check online. This must specify the unit name and code of the particular Arts ISP(s) that you wish to do. Submit the email response you receive with your application.

Double degree:

If you wish to count an Arts ISP towards the Arts part of a double degree whose Managing Faculty is not Arts, you must obtain written Course Advice from the Faculty of Arts (see instructions above), AND, if the Managing Faculty of your double degree is Business and Economics, or Art, Design and Architecture, you must also ask the Managing Faculty to endorse your application (by their Student Services staff signing and stamping page 2 of the ISP form; you should take your Arts Course Advice to show them). You should be aware that your application to do an Arts ISP can only be approved on the condition that you will be available to sit your non-Arts exams during the University examination period (you will not be able to defer non-Arts exams in order to participate in an Arts ISP).

If you wish to count an Arts ISP towards the non-Arts part of your double degree, see ‘non-Arts course’ procedure below. You should be aware that your application to do an Arts ISP can only be approved on the condition that you will be available to sit your non-Arts exams during the University examination period (you will not be able to defer non-Arts exams in order to participate in an Arts ISP).

non-Arts course: If you wish to count an Arts ISP towards a non-Arts course, you must obtain written Course Advice and approval from the Managing Faculty of your course. You should be aware that your application to do an Arts ISP can only be approved on the condition that you will be available to sit your non-Arts exams during the University examination period (you will not be able to defer non-Arts exams in order to participate in an Arts ISP).

Please note that the ‘Faculty program coordinator declaration’ on the bottom of page 2 will be completed after you have submitted your application.

Provide a copy of your Australian bank statement (showing bank name, BSB, account name, and account number, for the purpose of depositing the Monash Abroad Travel Scholarship into your account; we do not need any information about the funds in your account so feel free to delete that section).

If you have a scheduled exam which coincides with your Arts International Study Program (ISP) unit, Arts faculty students may be eligible to defer Arts exams. You will be required to submit an application for Special Consideration to the Faculty of Arts.

Please note, however, that not all exams can be deferred. Eligibility to defer exams will vary depending on the Arts ISP unit you are enrolled in, the unit it clashes with and when your exam is scheduled. Non-Arts exams cannot be deferred to participate in an Arts ISP. If you are a double degree student or a non-Arts student, it will be up to your managing faculty to determine whether or not they will permit you to defer an Arts exam.

Please refer to the following table to determine if you will need to apply for a deferred exam.

** Deferred and supplementary examination period. You MUST be available to sit an exam during this time. No further deferred exam will be granted. If you do not sit the deferred exam, then you may be at risk of failing the unit.

Complete an end of semester deferred final assessment application form.

Attach your flight itinerary (this is your supporting documentation).

Submit completed application to the Faculty of Arts.

Please note that while applications must be submitted no later than two (2) working days after your last scheduled exam, we strongly advise that you apply in week 10, so that we can determine whether or not you are eligible before you leave for the Prato/International Study Program.
